Kickboxing Equipment

All of the equipment that I recommend for use in a StrikeCamp Fitness workout is available on Amazon.com. Simply click on the images below for more information.

Interval Timer/Stopwatch

Gymboss

Used as an interval timer, the Gymboss can be set for 1 or 2 different intervals from 2 seconds to 99 minutes. It has two volume settings and a vibrate setting for when you are working out in a crowded location and don’t want to cause a disturbance. The Gymboss can also be used as a stopwatch, for times when you need to record duration of an exercise. We use this timer in StrikeCamp Fitness classes to switch from drill to drill.

MMA Gloves

Everlast Pro Style MMA Grappling Gloves

These gloves are great for switching back and forth between striking a target and getting down on the ground for a bodyweight exercise.

UFC^® Weighted MMA Gloves

These gloves are not recommended for bag work. However, they are great if you are shadowboxing or taking a cardio kickboxing class. The total weight of each glove is two pounds, with a half-pound weight sewn into the palm of each glove and a removable 1.5-pound weight attached to the back of each glove. S/M will fit most women well, and L/XL is more appropriate for men.

Focus Mitts

Windy Curved Focus Mitts (Pair)

These are the same focus mitts we use in StrikeCamp Fitness classes. They are professional grade and built to stand up to a beating.

Proforce Thunder Leather Curved Focus Mitt (Single)

For the kickboxer on a budget, the ProForce leather focus mitt is a great alternative to the pricier brands. Please note that this is sold as a single item, not as a pair.

Resistance Bands

These are the resistance bands we use in StrikeCamp Fitness classes:

Yellow Resistance Band (Medium)

Green Resistance Band (Medium+)

Red Resistance Band (High)

Black Resistance Band (Mega)

Jump Rope

Speed Rope (Black)

This simple jump rope is great for amping up your heart rate and working on your agility.

"I started taking the kickboxing bootcamp class in April '12 after joining AmeriKick Lansdale's cardio kickboxing classes in January '12. The interval training and body weight exercises have helped me lose over a pant size, lose 15 lbs. so far, increase my flexibility and tone my muscles. The best part of the class is that it is outdoors in a local park, which can make the class demanding but different each time. Heather does a great job pushing each client at their level of ability. Each class you take is demanding yet unpredictable of what exercise we will do next so I am never bored.

Heather's class is fun, challenging, burns tons of calories and a great stress reliever. I recommend StrikeCamp Fitness classes to everyone — regardless of age or agility!"

"StrikeCamp Fitness is just what I needed to get out of my exercise rut! Heather makes each class different, fun, and challenging. Having class outside is an added bonus!

Heather's passion is very evident during class, as she is an active participant herself. It's obvious she practices what she preaches. Kickboxing classes have no doubt made me stronger and more fit."

"My first StrikeCamp Fitness session was a wonderful experience and a great workout! By the end of week six, I felt fantastic and noticed a difference in my body. Kickboxing bootcamp classes were fun and are a great opportunity to meet people."

—Melissa M.

"Love the kickboxing boocamp classes. They are exactly what I needed to get my butt in gear. It's not easy—it's hard work—but it's great to see how far you can push yourself. Heather really works with everyone to push us to the next level. I've learned so much from her. I can't wait to sign up for the next session already, it went that fast! Love, love, love working out outside!!! Thanks, Heather!"

—Colleen M.

"Kickboxing bootcamp was just what I needed to jumpstart my summer workout! Heather is an excellent instructor who brings fun and intensity to the classes! After finishing Session 1, I feel more toned and fit!"
